Television actress Manasi Salvi has finally broken her silence on her controversial exit from Mahadev and Sons, addressing the ongoing dispute with the show’s makers and revealing that she is preparing to take legal action.

According to Manasi, the issue began months ago when she started facing uncertainty regarding her role on the show. She alleged that the producer repeatedly sent her messages and voice notes claiming that the channel was unhappy with her character and wanted her removed. This, she said, created confusion and emotional stress, as she was led to believe that her presence on the show was no longer valued. Over time, her screen time reportedly reduced, and her shooting schedule became irregular, making it difficult for her to plan her work commitments effectively.
